Carol, spot on. John Dear failed to mute or at least "nuance" his "peace and social justice ministry" while a far Leftist Democrat is in the White House.

Case on point: Another Jesuit, Father G. Simon Harak (I had him for humanities as a freshmen in H.S. pleasant fellow,never received a spiritual vibe of any kind from him) runs a Jesuit "Peace Center" at Marquette. During the G.W. Bush years Harak was all over the country giving talks, "peace" and "non violence" clinics and seminars all over the USA. Since 2009.....no publicity.....muted "peace activity".....apparently under Obama it's all good-peace has broken out all over the world. He still runs his "Peace Center" at Marquette but now it's all very abstract and peace is much more complicated and bashing the incumbent President or loud activism is a no go.
